Sir David Cannadine

Sir David Cannadine is the author of twelve books, and the editor or co-editor of thirteen books, and his interests range widely across the economic, social, political and cultural history of modern Britain and its empire, capitalism, collecting and philanthropy in nineteenth and twentieth century America, and the history of history.

His current projects include a study (and a questioning) of collective identities from religious wars to the 'clash of civilizations' and beyond; a new history of nineteenth-century Britain; a history of the teaching of history in schools in twentieth-century Britain; and a study of Winston Churchill, Anglo-America and the so-called 'special relationship'.

David will join Charlie Gladstone at 2pm on Saturday 15th July in the Temple of Peace, PM William Gladstone’s Study, for a discussion on the four times Prime Minister and wider Victorian society.
